In this connection we would urge
upon our people the importance of help
ing along the work of the Y. Nj. G. A.
not only by their presence and encour-
agement but also with their money. If
each one will give even Il small portion
the work of the Association will be
greatly enlarged. We understand that
an effort will be made this winter to Sc

terest in spiritual affairs. We trust the
effort will meet with success and that
the Association will be greatly encour-
aged.

An Interesting Case.-More thi

An interesting Sdse.-MOTc Indn
the usual interest in trials of criminal
cases i'm this conrt was manifested in
the tria! of William Reredon, charged
with placing cross ties on the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad at Tabb's grade on the
Goth of August, owing to the fact that
eminent counsel were arrayed on both
sides, the Hon. K. Boyd Faulkner hav-
ing been employed to assist the States
attorney, and Senator Faulkner and S.
w. Walker retained for defence. The
case was holly contested all the way
through, occupying two days in its
trial-Monday and Tuesday. Both sides
were ABLY presented, and powerful ar
guments made pro and con. The court
house was crowded during the entire
proceedings, and its usual sombre APP
pearance was frightened by the pres
ence of goodly sprinkling of the fair
sex. The evidence was circumstantial
and inferertia and, under the instruc-
lions of he Court, the jury could not
decide, beyond reasonable doubt, that
the prisoner had committed the act with
malicious intent, therefore a verdict of
''not guilty" was rendered. Popular
sympathy seemed 10 be with the ac-
cused, youth of sixteen, as evidenced
by the applause that greeted the ver-
dict.-MartiRs6Wg Salesman.

Rats!-Dr. K. NJ. Marshall has re-
Gently had queer experience with
rats. Some weeks ago the DR.. made
some grape wine, and put it in bottles
in his dairy, uncorked, to ferment. He
noticed that the wine was disappearing
in very mysterious manner, and could
not account for its abstraction until he
received indubitable evidence that rats
were stealing it. The "varmints" had
regular sprees every night until their
habits were discovered. a party of rats
out for night of it would congregate
around the bottles, into which they
would stick their tails, and then pass
them through their mouths 10 get the
liquor. They even got to carrying
srraws, and sucked the wine from the
bottles in that way. Seeing an unusual
number of intoxicated rats around the
premises led the Doctor to make an in
vestigation with the above result.

Morran.s Grove Exhibition

The managers of this exhibition scored
another success i'm their efforts TO es-
tablish free exhibition similar to the
Williams Grove or Changers Picnic,
annually held near Mechanicsburg, Pa,
on the Cumberland Valley Railroad.
The occasion being their third annual
exhibition.
On Wednesday the managers of the
Washington County Agricultural Asso-
citation, accompanied by Capt. Winters
Band and large number of citizens,
went on special train, leaving the
Shenandoah Valley depot at 8 q. IN.
They report the exhibition as largely
increased over those of the previous
years, and evidently becoming more at
tractive to the masses. Notwithstand-
ing the unfavorable appearance OF the
weather in the morning, which deferred
many of our citizens from going, the
train was crowded when it reached the
station, and fully five thousand persons
were on the grounds. If the managers
Of this exhibition continue to pull to-
gether in the future as they have been
doing since their organization, in few
years at most they will make it one Of
the popular annual gatherings in the
valley. We are informed that the mat
ter of having one day of The exhibition
called Maryland's day has been sug-
gested, and will most likely be carried
out next year. In such an event if the
Shenandoah Valley Railroad would run
special trains back and forth from the
Grove to Hagerstown throughout the
day, there would doubtless be an out
pouring OF our citizens that would com
pensate the railroad. The fact is the
S. V. r. r. has an opportunity to make
this exhibition great success and Of
profit to the road just as the G. V. r. r.
has made success of the Williams
Grove exhibition and at the same time
made business and money for their
road.
We congratulate the managers of
Morgan's Grove Exhibition on their in
creased success and hope that they will
continue the good work in the future
as one of the means of atfording pleas
ant annual reunion with their many
friends on this side of the Potomac
Hagersto,vn Mail.
The above article, which we clip from
one OF Hagerstown's most influential
papers, shows what our neighbors think
of our exhibition, and also points out
the way by which it may in the future
become a notable show. If the Shen-
andoah Valley Railroad does what it
should do in the matter, next year will
witness a gathering of immense proper
tons. Mr.. ii. A. Riddle, general pas
senger agent of the Cumberland Valley
Railroad, who was present this year,
says he will work up an interest along
the entire line Of his road next year
and has no doubt TIE people of that Sec
ton will turn out in large numbers. If
the agents of other railroads, especially
of the S. ", will take similar interest
in the exhibition, we may expect Nor
CAMS Grove be to the farmers of this
section what Williams Grove is to the
Pennsylvanians.

True.-The following from the New
York Sun is to the point: If country
newspapers were to publish the names
of subscribers who take, read and enjoy,
and are gratified by, yet refuse to pay
for their home papers, the reputation OF
most communities for moral honesty
would depreciate twenty per cent. An
editors labor is very seldom esteemed
or compensated. a lawyer will give
you five minutes advice Oh topic and
charge you s. for it. An editor will
give you advice on hundred topics, and
charge you three cents a copy for his
paper, and very often three cents given
to an editor would save five dollars given
to a lawyer. In fact, no other business
is so universally robbed and swindled
out of their labor aud capital as country
